Description
The summit of Mont Blanc, regardless of the chosen route, offers an undeniably powerful and emotional experience. Achieving this goal demands exceptional aerobic fitness, solid mountaineering expertise, and thorough acclimatization to high altitude.
I propose to tackle the climb from the Cosmiques Refuge and climb the Trois Mont Blanc route, which can be more difficult than the normal route but is definitely more interesting.
Naturally, based on the availability of the refuges, it is possible to change the choice of the ascent route. It is necessary to book well in advance (months before your intended ascent) in order to have the possibility of finding a place in the refuge.
This and other routes to Mont Blanc involve significant hazards like falling ice, rocks, and crevasses. Strong mountaineering skills and speed are essential to minimize risk.
With thorough preparation and my expert guidince we can mitigate these risks and maximize our chances of a successful and safe ascent. Want to embark on this quest? Contact me today to start planning your Mont Blanc climb!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
